As designed for large companies, government contracts or not. Look at the tax payments for any large company and you'll see minimal tax liabilities.
All of Elon Musk's companies were created to siphon off public money.
We should get rid of this one illegal immigrant stealing from us.
Yup, SpaceX is a result of him figuring out which type of business he can extract the most subsidies from...
Musk = POS Nazi.
More socialism for the wealthy so the wealthy can charge us for what they got for free.
Duh. Spacex isn’t your friend, nor is it benevolent. Not even if you’re a shitty maga fascist.
Just as the capitalists and corpo's like it.
surpiiiiice!
Apples are apples and theft is theft.
It gives little to nothing back. Period.
Nothing to do with the story but I always downvote links behind paywall or emailwall.
NYT honestly never paywalls me (I don't live in North America/EU), so I can't figure out if the article is free or not.
I usually add an archived version if I know there is a paywall (going to do that).
Tx, downvote transformed to upvote.
